Several men in armor were standing in the hall of the palace, as if they were discussing something, these people were the personal guards of the city lord's mansion, and in order to investigate the cause of the city lord's death, they caught the murderer and temporarily took over the city lord's mansion.

At this time, several officials entered the City Lord's Mansion and came to the hall.

"Your Excellency. Outside the hall, the officers knelt with fists clasped in front of the men in armor.

"Have you found it?" the city lord's guards looked at the officials and asked almost at the same time.

"Back to my lord, I didn't find anything. The lead official replied.

"Hmm. Several of the guards nodded, but their brows furrowed, and their faces showed gloom.

"But my lord, a man and a woman have asked to enter the city today. The official then told the guards about He Li's entry into the city.

"Hmm, someone asked to go into town?" said one of the men, staring at the official.

"Yes. The official did not dare to look directly at the man and lowered his head.

"Where are they now?" the man asked again.

"On Chengfu Road, my subordinates have already sent people to follow them. The official said.

"Well, you're in the City Lord's Mansion, I'll take a look. One of the men said to the other guards, turning his head to look at the officials, "You guys, follow me to Chengfu Road." ”

"Yes. ”

............

Chengfu Road.

He Qing'er kept looking east and west, keeping holding things, while He Li kept taking out money, and then took He Li to an inn.

"I was finally able to eat. He Li rubbed his legs, his face was speechless, looking at the big bag in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh, this is too good to shop, and too good to buy.

"Why, look at your reluctance. He Qing'er turned her head and gave He Li a blank look.

"Nope. He Li shook his head speechlessly.

"I find that you are not as cold and talkative as you used to be, and that's why. He Qing'er nodded, and suddenly such a question popped up.

"Forehead......." He Li was speechless for a moment, and scolded in his heart, it wasn't you who forced it, it looked like you were going to die before, if I didn't say more, you wouldn't have to suffocate to death. He Li helplessly touched the little fox in his arms and sighed.

"It's better to do that. He Qing'er smiled and walked into the inn.

"Yes. He Li muttered and followed up with the inn.

"Two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" As soon as he entered the inn, Xiao Er greeted him.

"Bring a good table, and arrange two first-class rooms. He Li and He Qing'er sat at an empty table by the window.

"Okay, wait, officer. Xiao Er took off the rag on his shoulder, wiped the tabletop, and went to the kitchen.

"When I entered Qingcheng, I didn't feel anything weird or terrifying. He Li looked around, at the diners, at the pedestrians on the street.

"Could it be all a lie?" He Qing'er said suddenly.

"Impossible. He Li shook his head, this shouldn't be a lie.

"The guest officer has been waiting for a long time. At this time, Xiao Er served plate after plate of dishes, which looked extremely delicious.

"It's finally ready to eat. He Li took out his chopsticks and handed them a pair to He Qing'er.

"It smells so good. He Qing'er took the chopsticks, added a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

He Li took out another pair of chopsticks and began to eat, I have to say that the dishes in this store are indeed good.

After a while, the dishes on the table were rolled up by the two of them.

"Little Er, take us to the room to have a look. He Li got up and took out a tael of silver from his bosom and put it on the counter, saying.

"Okay. Xiao Er answered, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Two guest officers, please." ”

At this time, a voice came, "Wait a minute. ”

"Huh?" He Li turned his head in confusion. He Qing'er also looked at the door of the inn. A man in armor and several officials were standing at the door, and those officials He Li knew that they were the officials who were guarding the city gate at that time, so the man in armor in front of them was undoubtedly the upper echelon of the city lord's mansion, the people of the personal guard.

"What advice do you have?" He Li stepped forward and hugged his fists at the men.

"Who are you?" asked the man in armor.

"The Chitoga family. He Li said.

"What is the important thing to come to Qingcheng?" "The Chidu He family has heard of it, after all, it is a very powerful family, although it was slaughtered, but Qingcheng is closed to news at the moment, and he does not know the recent situation of the surrounding cities.

"Just passing by Qingcheng. He Li smiled.

"Where are you going?" the man asked again.

"The Imperial City of the Imperial Capital of the Central Regions. He Li replied.

"Qingcheng is under martial law, only enter but not leave, you must know. The man said.

"Not bad. He Li nodded.

"Why don't you take a detour?" the man asked again.

"We won't go out of the city until the Qingcheng case is solved, please rest assured, we will definitely not cause trouble to Qingcheng. He Li said.

"Qingcheng is not peaceful now, remember not to go out at night. With that, the man left with a few officials.

"Who are they?" He Qing'er asked after seeing those people leave.

"The upper echelons of the City Lord's Mansion. He Li's brows furrowed, the last words of that person made him a little uneasy, and then, he turned to Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, it is enough to arrange only one upper room." ”

"Why?" He Qing'er widened her glasses, not knowing why there was only one room, which didn't mean that she was going to sleep in a room with a man.

"There is no why. He Li shook his head, this was also helpless, because he understood that this place was probably not as peaceful as in front of him, so he ignored He Qing'er's resistance and asked Xiao Er to lead him upstairs to the room.

"Two guest officers, please rest. After bringing the two of them into the room to see, Xiao Er closed the door and went out.

"Why don't you want two rooms?" He Qing'er said angrily as she sat on a stool.

"You sleep in the bed, I sleep on my stomach, I won't disturb you, and I won't do anything wrong, you can rest assured. He Li said speechlessly, for the sake of safety, there is no way.

"Why do you suddenly need a room, you have to explain it to me. He Qing'er's face was slightly red, but she still said angrily.

"It's not very peaceful here. He Li said.

"Where is it not peaceful, isn't it normal here?" He Qing'er was puzzled.

"It's not a quiet night here. He Li added.

"How do you know. He Qing'er gave him a blank look, he had never experienced the night, so he said so.

"To be on the safe side, I have to be by your side at all times. He Li said seriously.

"Okay. He Qing'er nodded helplessly.

............

As night fell, He Qing'er slept in his clothes, while Er He Li lay on the table, put the little fox aside, and fell asleep.

At the time of the third watch, an extremely terrible scream suddenly came out of the silent night sky.

"Huh?" He Li was instantly awakened by the already faint screams that reached his ears.

"Something happened. He Li looked at He Qing'er who was asleep, his brows furrowed, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the little fox in a coma, and quietly left the room, chasing the place where the scream was.

Leaving the inn, the streets were deserted, and by his accurate perception, he was sure that the scream had come from the west side of the city.

Hurried over.

The incident took place in a small alley west of the city, and by the time He Li arrived, there were already several men in armor holding torches. Those few should be the city lord's personal guards. I didn't expect them to be so fast.

In the middle of the men lay a corpse. He Li walked over, wanting to take a closer look at the corpse.

"What people. The few guards in armor looked at the appearance in the middle of the night, and one of them couldn't help but be a little vigilant.

"Huh, is that you?" At this time, a personal guard suddenly walked up and looked at He Li. That person was the personal guard who had spoken to He Li in the inn during the day.

"It's me. He Li smiled.

"How did you come here. The guard asked.

"When I heard the screams, I naturally came over to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be so fast. He Li approached the corpse, and couldn't help but be a little shocked when he glanced at it, sure enough, as the tea stall outside the city Xiao Er said, this corpse was only skin and bones, and this corpse did not find any wrong wounds.

"Since you can hear the screams here from such a distance in the inn, it means that your strength is not weak, so what do you think?" the guard asked when he saw He Li's expression after looking at the corpse.

"Have you examined the corpse and found any wounds?" He Li asked.

"There were no wounds, exactly the same as the previous corpses. The guard shook his head.

"Are there any clues found nearby?" He Li asked, looking around.

"There were no clues found. The guard replied.

"How many corpses were there before, where are they now?" He Li asked again.

"With this corpse, there are already eighteen corpses in total, and they are now all placed in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. The guard said.

"Can you take me to have a look?" He Li asked.

"Can you solve the case?" asked the guard.

"I don't know, I'm just interested. If a few of you believe in it, you can give it a try. He Li shook his head and said.

"Okay, follow me. The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. motioned for several other guards to carry the body and go to the City Lord's Mansion.

He Li followed closely, but his brows were furrowed tightly, there was no trace of blood at the scene, and even the corpse did not have any scars, what kind of person could do this method.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Please follow me, enter the City Lord's Mansion, and the guards took He Li around several times to the dungeon.

Entering the dungeon, there were more than a dozen corpses on display in a cell, and the guards put this corpse in it.

"The bodies are all here. The guard said.

"Hmm. He Li nodded, squatted down, and carefully looked at the dozen or so corpses in front of him.
